An exotice Arabic dish we cooked earlier this month, takes about an hour to make, and is recommended for larger gatherings.

Ingredients

Kofta

1 Kg minced beef

2 tbs finely chopped parsley

2 tbs finely chopped scallions

1 small minced red onion

1 tbs of cinnamon

Salt/pepper

Zucchini Sauce

4 medium zucchinis

2 cans of chopped tomatoes

6 chopped cloves of garlic

Â½ tbs of crushed red chili

2 tbs chopped parsley

Â½ tbs chopped mint

2 tbs of balsamic vinegar

2 bay leaves

Salt/pepper

Method

Mix well all the ingredients of the Kofta. Create finger shaped (or balls) of the mix. Put a little bit of oil on a non-stick frying pan and start frying the kofta until it is well done. (It is also possible to grill the kofta instead of frying it if you would rather do that instead).

Add the zucchini, parsely and mint to the tomatoe sauce in the saucepot. Add some salt and peper as desired to the sauce. Cover the sauce pot and leave it on a low flame until the zucchini is well cooked.
